His undertaking
the work of redemption was pleasing to God, and he had the consciousness
that in executing it he did those things which God approved. It is a
small matter to have men opposed to us, if we have a conscience void of
offence, and evidence that we please God. Comp. Heb 11:5
"Enoch —before his translation had this testimony that he pleased God."
